I would still prefer we had a build (such as the samba-libs autobuild
target, and perhaps a distcheck run) that removed the 3rd party
directory, but left the stuff in git.  The tarballs would not contain
the 3rd party stuff, via a DIST_BLACKLIST rule.

That way we find use of the 3rd party stuff (because we don't build),
have cleaner tarballs, but don't pull stuff out of git right now.  It
meanst we, consultants and admins can manually create a 'fat' tarball if
we need, while we test user (non) reaction. 

Then take the next steps if we still have a pressing case, but those
should be building unmodified third-party tarballs, not having our
wscript based build split across two different git repositories, as that
just makes testing and other build system changes harder. 

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
